Just finished a game where enemy players had FLIR on FALs. Made playing the night map completely awful. They just sat on top of buildings and destroyed us. Snipers in general seem really bad this patch. Went from a 1.3 to a 1.1 KD purely because of them.
#Spawn Camping at night

tbh just rework night it sucks

Practice makes stronger. It's just the obvious thing to do.

Snipers were nerfed if anything, so your kd dropping is skill issue.
Besides, the Flir sight is absolute trash, way too many downsides just to see enemies better while ADSing, something a flashlight can do just fine and better cuz of the blinding effect.

At night, it's the only night capable scope. You can use it without NODs and it ignores flares for the most part. They were using it from rooftops where there's little you can do about it due to the lack of a scope glint.
it is shit, but it's really annoying to be spawn camped with

15Hz.
Limited uptime.
Lack of awareness.
Can only see with the scope, otherwise you need to turn nvg on, which reduces the reaction speed.
Lots and lots of downsides, it's not a good sight and it's easily counterable.
urban fern
are you braindead? they're sitting on rooftops and just spawn camping so the awareness/hz is irrelevant... and you can get around uptime with spawn beacons also placed on the roof
the issue isn't that flir is op
it's that at nighttime you can't do anything about people using it, because unless you also have flir, your only option is to try to run at them

Running is hard
I guess I'm just bad then
urban fern
no it's just that flir is super rare due to unlocke
it's worse on that one map (name is escaping me) where all the objectives are super close together and there's two very large buildings in a sort of swamp as the central play area

FLIR is literally useless thanks to that huge glowing cross in the middle, you can't see shit through it, unless your target is in your face. Honestly if you managed to get spawn camped by someone using it, you were doing something extremely wrong.
At night, it's the only night capable scope
Since when? Please entertain me.
From my experience every single other scope is more capable than this thing. And I main recon, using mid range scopes. Doesn't matter if its day or night, I'm always near top parts of scoreboard, mostly because I learned pretty fast to not use FLIR.

I'm not bad at this game, not amazing either (ignore accuracy, I suppress enemies when I need to) but I'm by no means some goon.
The issue was that they were using semi autos
which offset the FLIR's downside, and presumably they didn't zero it, meaning the cross was just being used as visual reference.
the main culprit weapon was the FAL
and they were shooting down into spawn from atop a building
the reason the FLIR was really frustrating to go against was because it doesn't have scope glint and you cannot identify targets with normal scopes at the ranges they were fighting (at night at least)
they only needed to make 150-200m shots which is extremely doable in that situation
it's a non issue on day maps because you just shoot them lol
acog perfectly fine for that, no problem
but when you spawn and you're a glowing "shoot me" for the enemy to just absolutely brain at range, because of the way the flir works, it's very frustrating
if i can get into a match on the same map, i'll try to screenshot the map and draw over it to show you the angles they were using
the problem was that they could dominate every objective as well due to being better (our fault for losing), and then shoot us when we spawned at our base

Any nv anything needs to be changed
In my opinion making any light be semi blinding would be nice
Theirs a game on roblox called deadline that has really nice nods
urban fern
i think the NODs are okay, they're fairly realistic, but passive and active aiming are a little jank

challenging when you're being spawn camped

do you have a clip or smth? sounds like severe spawn camping if thats the case
like you get shot instantly when you spawn?
urban fern
i don't, and didn't get the map last time

Can you guys even use vehicles at night? Is so hard to see and I can't turn on the lights

bro since you dont have the kills yet you probably have never played with that sight. Its literally so shit the 15 hz make it almost unusable, especially if you try to move while adsing. There are a lot of countermeasures to this campy playstyle (like rpgs or pushing with car or just bunnyhopping while airstrafing). I am sure once you unlock the sight you will realize how limiting it is
I agree tho if they were able to shoot you right after you spawned then thats pretty stupid, its just never happened to me before and i probably have at least twice the amount if playtime you have if not three times

i know im joining in late here, but i was pretty excited to unlock the FLIR for my sniper, only to find out it is the worst sight in the game by far, the center cross is so massive and blurry arround the edges you are just guessing where you have to shoot exactly, from the situation you described, it sounds like if you took a basic bolt action rifle with a 6x and looked around a bit (not to mention that yo could already know where they were because they killed you before) you could kill them. Also, but im not sure on this, use smoke grenades to push to their location and take them out close range.

SOLUTION: Shoot flares into the sky! They should add this!
